Why is Zelensky addressing congress in a T-shirt?

Suits are over rated. So is anything military.

No t shirt for churchill. England was stoic, and in control during the blitz.

Somebody get this man a decent suit.

The OP is just parroting a Peter Schiff tweet from earlier this morning. I will respond by stating that this is typical conservative Boomer horseshat - attack the packaging but ignore the substance.

I have far more respect for Zelensky's optics, wartime leader, staying in the capital, dressing like those that are defending the country, as opposed to Putin being in a suit and tie but seemingly afraid to allow his top generals/cabinet members to sit within 20 feet of him.

Maybe his laundry was bombed by Russians?

I bet that t-shirt would get more money on eBay than anything you own

The thing is, if it was true- then it is a big deal that his infrastucture is that obliterated and he only has access to t shirts.

However, I 100% bet that is not the case and he is choosing to dress this way.

Besides it is a green shirt, and Tomorrow is St.Patrick's day - Patron saint of the Ukraine (and maybe Ireland as well).

uh.....remember when trump was attacked for wearing ugly suits, silk ties, having weird hair etc.

mitt romney was wearing mom jeans, he's too "put together" and out of touch in his appearance

dont act like liberals do not do this

Probably because his people will like it. He will seem more relatable to them and not look like he's sitting in some bunker. (Not that he is, or isn't. I don't know.)

Today is Steve Austin day, he should have been rocking a Stone Cold t-shirt.

Because he's regularly walking in the streets in the middle of a war zone, duh.

Do you think military officers wear their dress uniforms when they're in the battle zone, so that enemy snipers can identify their rank?

I think imminent death might change one's perspective on the importance of formal dress codes.

LetsRun policy would disallow and delete this thread if it were about Trump's attire.

^^^^^^^

In their increasing desperation, Putin fans begin posting fashion critiques.

You've got it backwards. People are so impressed with what real leadership looks like that the president of France has started trying to imitate Zelensky's wardrobe.

The problem isn't Zelensky wearing a T-shirt. It's congressmen wearing suits like it's business as usual.

A young wartime leader sporting a beard and olive-green T looks pretty badass.

It would look pretty dumb if a sea of Congressional geriatrics showed up to work dressed like Middle America tourists though, no? I think they're wise to stick to the suits.

Another Russian trollbot thread. If you understood America, you would know that casual attire is widely accepted. Many people even go to church these days in street clothes and what power is higher than God?
